3.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, but not hilarious., May 6, 2005
By Brian Welsch (Spartanburg, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a big fan of Stewie, and might go so far as to say I think he is somewhere on the short list of best cartoon characters of all time. however this tome, as Stewie refers to it, leaves me wanting a bit.
I haven't finished the book, as it's been relegated to the bathroom. A perfect spot for it, I think. Not because it stinks, but rather it's only amusing in smaller doses.
Much of Stewie's appeal is in the delivery, his humor doesn't quite make the translation to the written page.
Don't get me wrong it's funny at times, I just haven't cracked up the way I do watching the show.

3.0 out of 5 stars It gave me a few chuckles, October 28, 2005
By Itamar Katz (Ramat-Gan, Israel) - See all my reviews
Overall, this book is nothing to write home about. Don't get me wrong now - I'm a huge Family Guy fan, and I love Stewie. Steve Callaghan - a producer and writer for Family Guy from its very first season - did a great job writing this book as though it was written by Stewie, and at times it's quite amusing. Unfortunately, Stewie's sarcastic and misanthropic wit isn't half as funny on paper as it is coming from Seth McFarlane's mouth and with his brilliant delivery, and most of the jokes here are stale and predictable - quite a lot of them were actually recycled from the show. More than that I was disappointed by the artwork - which is all snatched directly from the Family Guy episodes, hardly any new material was made freshly for the book.

In direct comparison with Bart Simpson's Guide to Life, Stewie's Guide to World Domination is less an original work and more an excuse to suck a few more bucks from the show's fans. Perhaps Family Guy just doesn't have enough years behind it to be as mythological as the Simpsons; or perhaps the book could have been funnier had Seth himself written it, but I doubt that would have made much difference. Stewie just isn't that funny on paper. Mind you, the devoted Family Guy will want to add it to his merchandise collection (I'd like to use this opportunity to point out that I'm wearing my Brian Griffin boxer shorts as I'm writing these very lines) but keep your expectations low. And for anyone else, you'll probably get very little out of it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing compared to the show..., August 6, 2005
I am a big Family Guy fan; I have seasons 1-3 on DVD, tape the new episodes when they air on Sunday nights on Fox, and can't wait for season 4 to be on DVD. However, I have to say that "Stewie's Guide to World Domination" was rather disappointing. It seems as though Steve Callaghan is just trying to get rich from putting the "Family Guy" stamp on this book. Many of the jokes are rehashed from episodes of seasons 1-3. And instead of using this book as an opportunity for fresh new visual gags, there are simply just pictures from various episodes with maybe a few photoshopped words added to them. In the end, I gave it 2 stars becasue there are a few good one liners, but I think that it is "Stewie's" voice that really makes lines like those work and you really can't get that from a book. An audiobook with Seth Macfarlane reading the book with the Stewie voice may have been a better idea.
